Those of us over a certain age remember when you bought a plane ticket, checked your bags and were on your way. We got good service, free meals and no extra fees for baggage or whatever.
Is that going to be the trend with cruise lines now? We all know that cruises are a great deal….lots of bang for the buck as they say. But the cruise lines, with all their discounts and special offers, may also need to add on some extras in order to stay afloat (pun intended). After all, if the food is so great in the main dining room, why the need to pay $25 or more per person to eat in a “specialty restaurant”?
One major cruise line is now automatically adding trip cancellation insurance to all their quotes on the phone. Now, we consider trip cancellation insurance to be a good investment….but not necessarily the plans sold by the cruise lines. Often times you can get better coverage at a lower cost by booking through a travel agent that will offer insurance from another company. The particular cruise line we mention will remove the insurance from the price they quote you, but you have to request it.
